Annotation | Evidence indicates that many households in the UK have little or no savings, hence the reason for introducing the individual savings account (ISA) as a way of encouraging saving. This Commentary examines the reasons why a government might want or need to reform taxation on savings; past experiences with tax incentives such as tax exempt special savings accounts (TESSAs); and the design and implementation of ISAs.
